Lauko (upper body) may be available versus the Blue Jackets on Thursday, Matt Porter of The Boston Globe reports.

EDGE Analysis

Coach Jim Montgomery wouldn't confirm that Lauko would be ready to play but it appears the winger is trending in the right direction. Even once given the green light, the Czech native is far from a lock for the lineup and may have to serve as a healthy scratch periodically in favor of A.J. Greer.
